New American Restaurants near Fort Hunt, VA

“Heard this place was great for Sunday brunch. Made a reservation and was so pleased with the ambience when seated; when looking over the menu, we felt certain we had been handed the wrong one because it was 11am and there were no brunch items to be found! But sadly, there is only this one menu regardless of day or timing. Very disappointing!! We pieced together some soup and appetizers as a “brunch” meal; the food was very good and our waitress very kind. However, we did send our comments to the chef expressing dismay that a brunch spot offered zero menu items that were even close to being considered brunch options!“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

“Always a great place to stop for food and drink.“

“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!“

“The advocado toast was generously loaded with fresh advocado and hierloom grape tomatoes on top of nicely toasted sourdough bread. The coffee was hot and fresh. The service was friendly and prompt. The dining area was spacious and peaceful.“

“On Friday night, 8 coworkers met up for dinner. Service was attentive. I ordered the jambalaya with rice. It came out with a large amount of white rice which was not in portion to the seafood/sauce and I was disappointed that no other side such as bread/cornbread came with it. It was just ok and not too spicy and the rice was between nutty & mushy. I've eaten here several times and will do so again but didn't enjoy this dish.“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“From the moment we stepped through the doors of Jula's on the Potomac, we knew we were in for a special experience. Everyone's dish was a masterstroke. From start to finish, Jula's on the Potomac delivered an experience that was thoughtful, refined, and full of heart. It’s the kind of place that turns a dinner into a memory. Five stars without hesitation. My wife will never forget her 50th Birthday celebration brunch. Bishop Avery Kinney Sr. will be back—and bringing everyone he knows. It was worth the drive from Richmond. ❤💯“

“We came here after the nationals game and Dylan was our server and it was his best experience ever. My husband had the liver and onions and I had the cob salad and it was delicious. My sister-in-law had the avocado salad. I would come here at 10 out of 10 a time every single time and don’t forget to ask for Dylan as your waiter. It was amazing. And order the Mojito!“

“Great food, awesome service!!“

“We came based on the amount of good reviews and it didn’t not disappoint! Some of the best butter chicken and chicken tikka we’ve had! We’re not local but already planning on coming back.“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

I'm not quite used to the large wedges but they were good enough and not overly salty. I added the broccoli app and it was cooked perfectly. Can't wait to come back and try something else!“

“Borrowing from their words. More than 30 years later, the Silver Diner has gone from a nostalgic American icon serving affordable family food to a highly overrated restaurant serving overpriced food that allegedly reflect’s today’s lifestyles. But the one thing that will never change is the stench of their restrooms throughout the diner.“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“Penne Pasta with Pork Bolognese Crispy Lemongrass Chicken Caramelized Cauliflower It tastes good. The environment is nice“

“Juan Ramirez and his team, including our server Kevin, made my dad's 80th birthday celebration our best yet! With my dad's birthday falling on Valentine's, I reached out to Bastille months in advance to accommodate our large party - and they were happy to coordinate with me, and made sure our space was accessibility-friendly. We've eaten at Bastille many times, and this meal was extraordinary (cheers chef!)! We all left the table satiated in body and soul. Thanks for a memorable event for our entire family, Juan! We look forward to the next one.“

“Great atmosphere, great food, and excellent customer service.“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

“My boyfriend and I visited Cooperwood Tavern for the first time, and we had a wonderful experience! We sat outside on a beautiful day, and our server, Elias, was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. As someone with celiac, I really appreciated how helpful he was in guiding me through the gluten-free options on the menu! The food was delicious, and we especially loved the baked brie appetizer with fig compote and honey. They were able to substitute apples for the bread, which made it both celiac friendly and absolutely amazing. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend!“

“My husband and I had dinner on a quiet Wednesday evening. We shared guacamole which was very good with some unusual little additions. My husband had the beef steak and loved it. Again unusual ingredients made the dish very delicious. I had the pork which I had enjoyed a year ago and again I loved it! The service was very attentive. The chef came out so we could tell her in person how much we loved it all!“

“great bartenders great staff service drinks music food!!“

“The service was amazing and the food was good.“

“Not too often do I get to have French toast and French fries at the same time“

“I had a great time at this matchbox location. The decorations were so cute. Great ambiance for work, date, or just a solo meal. Hot honey pepperoni pizza was good— just the right amount of spice. Our server, Eliezer was amazing! Attentive service, great attitude.“

“Wonderful food and experience“

“I visited the Nordstrom Cafe in Virginia and had a great experience. The food was really good and everything was delicious. The quality and flavor were on point, and the overall atmosphere was nice and relaxing. It was a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.“

“Very nice spot!!!....Woke up thinking about that good food on the menu today lol can't wait to go back!“

“I don’t often write reviews, but I we had such a lovely experience with the bartender Sebastian! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and drink menu and was able to give us an amazing sampler of focaccia, pasta, crab cakes, and a Ruben we all shared. He was super attentive the whole evening. 10/10!!!“

“Looking for a fun activity with our family before Thanksgiving, we chose bowling. The prices were definitely cheaper than commercial locations. The place was clean with stations every few lanes with balls organized by color and weight. There were ramps available for anyone to use if necessary. There is also the ability to set bumpers to raise and lower for an individual in your group. You have the ability to edit your score, which is great because a few times pins would fall on their own and add to the score. There were options for scoring using regular bowling rules or other fun games. While we didn’t eat there, but there were plenty of food and drink selections. My only issue was the balls were very oily and the finger holes were very small. Staff said that’s how they were ordered but offered me a small container of baby powder to use.“

“Stopped on way to VA from NH after driving all night. Needed a quiet place near airport to park and take a short nap. This was the perfect option. Park police building on north side of the island, parked for free on the south end. After the sun came up had some beautiful views of DC across the Potomac. Decided breakfast was needed and to our surprise the Potomac grille was exactly what we had in mind. Menu is limited based on deliveries and support from park services. A very large renovation program for the island is approved and in progress.This park is a very spacious, pretty, quiet and a nice green oasis in the modern of the busy city.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space, indoor and out door seating. Menu choices are limited based on options delivered to Cafe. The entire island has been approved for overhaul so support for services is in a sunset period.

Parking: Plentiful and free until major renovations are completed

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space, restrooms are clean and in good condition at cafe building. Some outdoor public restrooms are still functional.“

“We live right by Mason Social so I’m not sure why we aren’t here all the time. Our server/bartender Trish should always pick the music. Killer kale salad and great (surprise!) 50% off wine bottles on Wednesday! Will be back“

“My son's 19th birthday dinner was amazing. Our service addressed him by his name when he came to the table and wished him happy birthday and the service only got better from there. My family had a nice time and the food and drinks were delicious! Will be back again!“

“Our server Jayla was awesome! She was very friendly. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. weather was gorgeous outside and the outdoor patio was well covered, but we decided to sit inside. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Jayla asked if it was our first time at Blackwall Hitch, which it was, so she went over the local favorites. She recommended the flaming crab dip and it was delicious!!! Jayla offered us extra Naan chips which I thought was generous for an upscale restaurant. I asked if she could bring us extra with a to-go box to take the rest of the dip. We also had the mahi mahi tacos and chicken-pancetta flatbread - both were great. Jayla often checked on us. We had a lovely time and the service was great! Thank you!“

“Great service and delicious food! Definitely recommend and will come again next time I am in town. Staff is super friendly and welcoming and suggest great options for my dietary needs.“

“My childhood carryout is still here, haven't been up here in years and it's right up the street from me but since I'm off work today, I picked up some liquor and came back home to Eddie's to order 6 wings and fries with mumbo sauce on the side, they still the same good as always, my turn up gonna be good today after eating this💯“

“Outstanding restaurant & bar inside the Embassy Suites. First off, their breakfast offering is beyond reproach. Great entrees & service. The dinners are also fantastic. It's a great feeling to have a restaurant in your hotel where you can have a great meal, a few drinks & zero worries. Their breakfast is from 6 am - 9 am on weekdays & 7 am - 10 am on the weekends. They also offer an evening social hour. If you're a guest of Embassy Suites their room service hours are 11 am to 11 pm, everyday including weekends.“

“Food was excellent and the customer service was great. If you’re doing a celebration just let them know ahead and Busboys and Poets will make your experience right! We celebrated Education Today!! #YouAreAppreciated“
